ABA Therapy FAQs

Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. The severity of these symptoms can vary greatly, and early diagnosis and intervention can be beneficial in helping individuals with autism lead fulfilling lives.

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence-based approach designed to help children with autism develop communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills. It focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment and uses positive reinforcement to encourage meaningful learning.

Each ABA therapy program is individualized to meet a child’s unique strengths and needs, with treatment plans developed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). ABA therapy can take place at home, in school, or in clinical settings, depending on the child’s goals and circumstances.
